Archaeology in British Columbia is evolving. Across the province, archaeologists are changing the way the discipline is practised by working in partnership with Indigenous and other descendant communities to document important cultural sites.

In his new book, ONCE UPON THIS LAND, archaeologist Robert J. Muckle highlights some of B.C.'s the most notable investigations and explores how these new approaches are reshaping archaeology today.

Hear Robert J. Muckle in conversation with Professor Eldon Yellowhorn this October at the Central Library.
